Recent inspections show mostly minor, correctable issues like missing consumer advisory labels, door gaps, and worn facility fixtures rather than active food contamination or improper food temperatures. The most serious note—an obstructed handwash sink—was corrected on the spot, so there's no ongoing evidence of unsafe food handling.
A handwashing sink shall be maintained so that it is accessible at all times for employee use. AMC 16.60.160(5-205.11.A) ***Facilities must be maintained in a condition that promotes handwashing and restricted for that use. Convenient accessibility of a handwashing facility encourages timely handwashing which provides a break in the chain of contamination from the hands of food employees to food or food-contact surfaces. Sinks used for food preparation and ware washing can become sources of contamination if used as handwashing facilities by employees returning from the toilet or from duties which have contaminated their hands. ***OBSERVED HANDWASH SINK AT THE COFFEE BAR FILLED WITH DIRTY DISHES. PERSON IN CHARGE WAS INSTRUCTED THAT HANDWASH SINKS CANNOT BE USED FOR ANYTHING EXCEPT HANDWASHING AND MOVED THE OBSTRUCTION. ENSURE HANDWASH SINKS REMAIN ACCESSIBLE AT ALL TIMES TO PROMOTE PROPER HANDWASHING.
